Judge Your Practices Against This Benchmark Manual COST Action B-24
established four working groups to research and discuss issues
relevant to laboratory animal science. These included the housing
of animals, environmental needs, refinement of procedures,
genetically modified animals, and cost-benefit analysis. Based on
the groups' findings, The COST Manual of Laboratory Animal Care and
Use: Refinement, Reduction, and Research provides a consensual
European view of best practices for individuals and institutions
caring for and working with laboratory animals. What is COST? COST
(European Cooperation in Science and Technology) is an
intergovernmental initiative that promotes coordination of
nationally funded science and research at a European level. This
book focuses on reduction and refinement strategies and includes
insightful contributions from 44 experts drawn from various EU
countries. Addressing only the most commonly used mammalian
species-rats, mice, and rabbits-each chapter of the book follows a
similar structure: * Objectives outline the breadth of the
chapter's coverage * Key Factors summarize the central issues that
underpin good practice * Questions Unresolved close each chapter,
identifying areas of uncertainty and prompting investigations
directed at advancing knowledge and application within relevant
fields The COST Manual of Laboratory Animal Care and Use:
Refinement, Reduction, and Research is the reference sure to be
found in the lab coats of those responsible for the care and
welfare of animals and those overseeing and conducting activities
related to the use of animals for scientific purposes.
